Aside from the comments already made, done properly, they are great to hunt out of. Only downside is that a number of other birds will use them as a perch and crap everywhere!

I had a professor at CWU that was a Pro Guide for ducks. He would make nice blinds with 2x6 seats too keep people from hunting the sweet spot on public land. He said nice blinds are usually found and used by those less in tune with the birds patterns. He would often put them on the way to his honey hole and then make a temp one where he hunted. He also said he policed up all the shells to leave less evidence of what he was doing. He used fiberglass rods and stuck them in to the ground then stacked tumble weeds over them.  His hunts were half day morning hunts and his bird/day hunter avg over 30+ years was between 4 and 5... I think the best way to ruin a good public spot is to put a blind on it.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
